RED HEADED GIRLS.

Why Does White Horse Appear When
They Are Scent
The discussion over tine alleged simultane-
Gus appearance upon the streets Of white
horses and red headed girls has reached
point in the west that reminds one Of the days
of ID, IA and Is puzzle, the chestnut bell and
the punch conductor" song The supersti-
ton is neatly hit off by Kansas paper, as
follows:
whoever says so is liar" roared chol-
eric old gentleman from Dexter one morning,
standing in front of the city hall. "These
stories are got up to play upon the credulity
of the country people. I'm getting tired.
Look there now, there's a red headed girl, red
headed till you can't rest. Where's any white
horse4 Just as easy as rollin' off log to
prove the original of the fad liar / don't
believe there's white horse within a mile"
But CHANGING to gaze in the direction of the
high school a hearse was seen, to which not
one, but two milk white steeds were hitched.
The Dexter man tainted To this may be
added that columns have been written ex-
planatory of the white horse coincidence with
out satisfying the public
Possibly the reason why when red headed
girl appears on the street a white horse soon
makes his appearance will have to be sought
for III history. This suggestion is thrown out
for what it is worth. Away back In the early
Greek and Egyptian days red headed girls
were very justly priced above all the mem
bers of the sex. Men fought, hled and died
for their smiles, and they were quite the rage
Cleopatra herself, We are told, was the DOS
SCISSOR of an auburn head and Helen of Troy,
some contend, was equally fortunate As is
well known, the belief in the trans
migration of souls vas lthen prevalent,
based upon reasons now lost to philosophy.
and conspicuously brave men killed in battle
took the forms, under the smiles of Jupiter
of white horses We can imagine, then, that
when gallant knights went forth to battle
after passionate adieus to their auburn
headed Helens and Cleopatras, and found
themselves after fierce conflict with the
barharlans, prancing steeds of snowy TANKS,
that memory of their lost loves dwelt in their
equine heads. 1t may be that these fellows
IN the shape of white horses are still follow
ing red headed girls around or course, in
this proSssc age, no live journal has time to
argue such proposition, but the folks who
believe that there are more things in heaven
and earth than are dreamed of in our philos-

chill ran through him, and for a moment he
reeleti heavily against the bars of the win
dow Butafter that it seemed to him that
he thought no more of it, he gave in, and
though not conscious of the fact, quietly sur
rendered himself to death. 1t was all over
No hope, no life-nothing was left Perhaps,
indeed, he scarcely knew how things went
with him for awhile, but instinct at least led
his dying footsteps back to the old horrible
home-the loathsome cellar in the squalid
court. With faltering feet, with a dull stu
pid despair upon his half dead little face,
with the now cold and stiff puppy pressed to
his heart, he descended the store steps, and
like wild thing stricken sore, sought his
lair ..
Inside all was still, all was dark. A horri-
BILE silence prevailed, a very blackness of
darkness that might be felt. He began to be
frightened, horribly frightened He put the
dog down and pressed the palms of his hands
tight-tight against his eyeballs that he
might not see the grewsome shapes of which
the dread gloom seemed full Teeming shapes
that changed ever and ever. and drew nearer,
and touched him as be Thought Sometimes
his hair, and now-ah-nOw his cheek
And then the harsh racking cough that had
been bis for a twelvemouth caught him and
shock his thin little frame so roughly in its
rude grasp that he hadto take down his hands
from bis eyes to press them to that side where
the pain was most cruel; but he still kept his
eyes fast closed lest he should st,e those Weird
awful creatures dancing here und there iii
the ohscurity.
He was cold-so cold! He shivered and
shook with terror, and with something else
that last dread icy chill that every moment
crept closer and closer to his heart. And
after awhile he sat down and let himself fall
quietly backwards until his poor tired head
lay upon the damp pavement. He put out Il
feeble hand, and finding the dead dog, me
chanically drew it nearer to him.
And then a wonderful thing happened. All
at once the cellar, it seemed TO him, grew full
of light. A light, strange, awful, marvellous,
such as you and have never yet seen EAnd
in it stood-Onel
A most gracious figursi Tail, a little
bowed and clad in a long garment, than
which no snow freshly fallen was ever half so
white. And the face-who shall tell the di-
vine fairness of ita
Little Jerry could not have described it
then, but as he gazed on it he knew all at
once the fullest meaning of the words "Love"
and Peace" and Rest"
And the figure stopped and gathered to his
breast the little frozen boy, and suddenly a
soft delicious glow ran through his nunibed
veins. And Jerry let his tired head fall
gently back against that tender bosom.
And heavier and heavier pray the weary
limbs, and then suddenly, oh, so light! and
presently he felt himself lifted up-ever up
wards-and carried away-away
And never more did little Jerry know cold
or hunger or fear or dispair, and never again
did darkness trouble him, for
There shall be no night there"

A Railway with an Arctic Terminus.

As the train whirls out of Winnipeg the
stranger is reminded of the agitation that
cost the Canadian government nearly $780,
900. The money was sunk in the Hudson
Bay railroad The beginning of the line is
plain to all. but the Greenland terminus will
never assume more palpable form than shown
on the blue prints of the projectors Mines
and other western investments which caught
the fancy of st Louis investors were rich in
virgin gold compared to the prospects of
line carried into a country where not even
the footprints of the squatter are found. Yet
money was forthcoming for the construction,
and bonds were tloated on the London mar
ket, where the barren steppes were depicted
as tseming with life and lands more prolific
than American bottoms.
The terminals on the Arctic ocean were im-
pressive both in magnitude oil construction
Thirty miles of the line were built, and at the
close of the political campaign forces were
withdrawn. A cheap shed of rough boards,
sheathed with tarred paper, which flaps in
the rsind like signal of distress, conceals the
only locomotive of this great northern line.
On the rusty rails stands a train of fiat cars,
beautiful in fresh paint as they were deIiv-
cred by the builder Tall weeds fill the space
between the cars and on the sides, and there
is an air OF abandonment that would raise
tears in the eyes Of the bondholders if they

One of the 100 citizens who dead beat
their messages over the telephone walked
into a place on Congress street yesterday,
bowed suavely to the occupant of the Office
and walked directly to the telephone.
He rang up for Central and began:
Hello, CENTRAL Hello! Hellol Hellolr
No answer came and he went over the
same ground twice more. Then he seized
the crank and rang the bell for two long
minutes No answer He had just finished
another turn at it when the proprietor looked
up and asked:
"What is it,"
"Why, can't get the Central"
"Of course you can't The wires were de-
tached six months ago, and don't see wi

How "pixie" Came to be Written.

now sdiht W bt "flltcAs
1t was on Saturday night in 1859, when
Dan Emmett was a member of Bryant's
MINISTRIES in New York, that Dan Bryant
came to Emmett and said: Dan, can't you
get up walk arounda ] want something
new and lively for Monday night" At that
date all minstrel shows used to wind up with
a walk around. The demand for them was
constant, and Emmett was the composer Of
all of them for Bryants minstrels Emmett,
of course, went to work, but he had done SO
much in that line that nothing at first pre-
sented itself that he liked. At last he hit upon
the first two bars, and any composer can tell
how good start that is in the manufacture
of tune. By Sunday afternoon he had the
words, commencing II wish was in Dixien
The colloquial expression is not, as most
people suppose, a southern phrase, but first
appeared among the circus men i'll the north.
In early fall, when nipping frosts would over
take the tented wanderers, the boys would
think of the genial warmth OF the section
they were heading for, and the common ex-
preston would be: swell, wish i was in
Dixie" This gave the catch line; the rest Of
the song was original On Monday morning
the song was rehearsed and highly commend
ed, and at night crowded house came to
hear the refrain, and half Of the auditors
went home singing Dixie" The song be-
came the rage, and Newcomb's, the Buckleys
and other minstrel parties gave Emmett five
dollars for the privilege of using it. Mr. Wer-
lein, of New Orleans, wrote to Emmett to
secure the copyright, but without waiting for
an answer published it, with words by a
Mr. Peters. Pond, of New York, secured it
from Emmett, and gave him 5000, but Wer-
lein sold thousands of copies without giving
Dan a nickle. Not only was Emmett robbed
of the profits of his song, but the authorship
of it was disputed. Pond brought the matter
before music publishers convention and set
tied the question of authorship, but Dan
reaped no benefit from this tardy justice.
Emmett got into trouble about his song dur
ing the war 1t was considered rebel song,
and sapient editor in Maine, declared that
Dan was secessionist and that he should be
treated as one, although the song was written
two years before the commencement of the
rebellion. Professor Kane in Baltimore
